I’m sure you’ve heard from your physician or PT: “You need to strengthen your CORE” or “Your back is hurting you because your CORE is weak.”
So, what is the CORE?
Every time we move, some muscles hold us steady while the others move our body. The ability of the body to coordinate and integrate our movements and reactions is the CORE. Your CORE allows you to multi-task actions without falling on your face.
When you are walking your dog and it spots a cat and suddenly pulls the leash out of your hand and you succeed to keep your balance and take back control, you should thank your CORE.
When you lift your 20 lb. baby effortlessly or ride a bike for 23 miles pain-free, thank your CORE.
The CORE muscles help us with:
- Better posture
- Better balance
- More efficient & elegant body movements
- Less risk of injury
